Cleaning up around the house is a challenge for any kid, but Cricket Green has mastered the art of dodging housework entirely. During a interview with Temple of Geek, Cricket broke down his top strategies for getting out of household chores, placing “weaponized incompetence” at the very top of his list.

His backup tactics include rapid-fire lying, stating a task is complete and hoping no one checks for at least seven seconds.
